Ajax forward Mohammed Kudus is interested in moving to Manchester United to reunite with Erik ten Hag, according to Football Insider.
The Lowdown: Kudus at Ajax
Kudus has turned out in a range of positions throughout his career from a central midfielder to a centre-forward. The 22-year-old has enjoyed his best season in front of goal in 2022/23, though, scoring 11 times in all competitions.
He has experience of playing under Ten Hag, making 42 appearances under the Dutchman across two seasons, contributing to nine goals, and it looks as if a reunion between the pair could be on the cards.
The Latest: Transfer update
FI shared a story in the last 24 hours regarding United and Kudus, revealing contact has been made ahead of a potential summer move.
The report states that a possible transfer could be worth £48m, with the player interested in a move, speaking to friends of his desire to play for Ten Hag again.
The Verdict: Shrewd move
Ten Hag brought in Lisandro Martinez and Antony from his former employers over the summer, with the pair both contributing to United’s successes so far.
Kudus, who journalist John Bennet has described as a ‘new star’ for Ghana, could be another smart signing from the Dutch giants. He would provide Ten Hag with a versatile option in midfield and attack, two positions where United have found themselves short during 2023.
Christian Eriksen’s injury and Casmeiro’s suspension last month left Ten Hag with limited midfield options, while Anthony Martial has also been out for large parts of the campaign and Wout Weghorst is only on loan, making a move for Kudus one to watch heading into the summer.
